Genazzano Fathers' Association

The Genazzano Fathers' Association (GFA) was formed in 1991, and is a dedicated group of Dads and friends who have the common interest of their girls' education at the College. As the father of a Genazzano student you are automatically a member of the GFA, which lives through its creed: "To Love, Laugh and Make a Difference".

The idea of a Fathers’ Association was the inspiration of Sr. Margaret Mary Kennedy. Following the tragic death of a member of the parent community, Sr. Margaret Mary was concerned that the men of the Genazzano community did not have the personal networks needed in times of crisis.

The purpose of the GFA is to:

Make a difference to, and enrich, the relationship between fathers and our daughters

Build a strong and vibrant community of fathers who feel engaged with the association providing reward, recognition and fulfilment

As fathers, care for each other in times of need

Make a difference to the College community, through the leveraging of the fathers' skills, knowledge, experience, resources and network

Host corporate events that are engaging, enjoyable and result in a flow of funds to support the GFA activities and selected college priorities

Get Involved

Events

Getting involved with GFA events is fulfilling and rewarding, plus building friendships with other fathers is a lot of fun and is an opportunity to spend quality times with your daughters.

The GFA runs almost 30 events and activities each year and we are grateful for the assistance of numerous volunteers to help co-ordinate these events, with the support of the GFA Vice-Presidents.

Meetings

We hold our monthly meetings during term, on the third Wednesday of the month at 7.00pm in the College Boardroom, Wardell Building. The meetings are relaxed and brief, with refreshments. All are welcome to attend.
